Kwamena Duncan, a former Central Regional Minister, has replied Professor Frimpong-Boateng over his allegations against the Akufo-Addo government.
Prof. Frimpong-Boateng accused some officials in the government of engaging in illegal mining which is currently under investigations by the Police and the Attorney General.
He also blasts President Akufo-Addo as leading what he terms “family, friends, and concubines government”.
“There are people who claim to be stalwarts of the party; they have neither political appointments nor positions in the party structure. They appear to wield so much power that one of them is described as ‘de facto Prime Minister’ of the country. Apparently, they have what it takes to get their friends and favourites appointed to prominent and powerful positions in society. At the same time, they have the tendency to disrespect and make life difficult for Ghanaians. This is unlike the NPP we know. NPP, HOW DID WE GET HERE?”
“We are being served with a variation of “family, friends, and concubines government”, and control of the press not through violence but through bribery and intimidation. We are witnessing the weaponization of state institutions to silence transformative voices while allowing patronized corruption to flourish. Instead of development in freedom, we are witnessing unprecedented intimidation, economic retrogression, and suffering in silence. NPP, HOW DID WE GET HERE?”, he said in his recent article titled "NPP, How Did We Get Here?".
Responding to these claims during Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" show Wednesday morning, Kwamena Duncan sought to find out who the "concubines" of President Akufo-Addo that the Professor claims are and wondered why Prof. Frimpong-Boateng would make such allegations.
He slammed the Professor for being ungrateful to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who appointed him as Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining, serving in his government for four years.
"It takes a congenital ingrate to describe a government that you served four solid years...So, it is when the four years you were a part, you never saw that government as constituted for family, friends and concubines...The cruelest way to thank somebody that has given you this honor," he rebuked Prof. Frimpong-Boateng.
"You must have a life. Professor, have a life...hate is eating him up," Kwamena Duncan exclaimed.

you can use whatever words on the professor but the fact remains that he's sacrificed enough for the country that you.
Very unfortunate statement.
Well done, Kwamena Duncan! Under which heading was Prof employed by Nana Addo? Friend, Family and Concubine? Will Prof have said same if he was still a cabinet minister?
Nana Addo should be grateful to have Prof Frimpong serving his government rather, Nana Addo is about hype Prof's achievement is there for everyone to see
2024 - Referendum on NPP. Do you want the NPP to continue to wreck havoc on our economy (Pension funds being used for debt servicing) and cause and supervise unbelievable devastation of our water bodies and environment, through galamsey? Vote wisely. You have the power. All the public officials - President, Parliamentarians etc, are all your servants. They are nobodies with your your vote. Vote them out.
This is not right, Sir! Many of us are disappointed in our government. Why is Ken Ofori Atta still at post?
Congenital Ingrate is Akufo Addo followed by Kwamena Duncan. How many people in NPP today can compare themselves to Prof Frimpong Boateng? Very dirty people (VDP). Who does not know about family, friends and concubines? Continue fooling around. Only Kokrokoo and NPP host will allow you to continue fooling with you backing vocalist Allotey Jacobs. Count down is already on. only 14 months of this fooling is left. If not for this ***barred word*** government, where can you be a minister? ***barred word*** ***barred word*** IN GOVERMENT
Amazing, but for the cheap politics in Ghana where any non nen tity holding a party card can be a minister, where on earth will you ( Kwamena Duncan) stand close to Professor Frimpong Boateng let alone telling him to have a life. Professor Frimpong Boateng is an accomplished medical practitioner known world wide. His records are there and can be verified any time, any where. Before the prof took an appointment as a minister in the NPP government his name was already a household name in Ghana and beyond. Kwamena Duncan, be truthful to yourself, before you were appointed a minister for the central region, who knew you outside your home? What work were you doing. The distance between you and Professor Frimpong Boateng is like from Ghana to China. Who among the current appointees in the NPP government can match the Profs achievements outside politics, Who? You are one of those people who will bring the NPP to its knees.
Kwamena Duncan, you went too far this time. Silence is golden. No matter what, Prof. deserves some respect and honor. Please retract and apologize to Prof.
Hahahaha he just wants to be noticed and given a job again after all it’s about praise singing
